HIS EXCELLENCY EUGENE ROUGON. Explanatory Notes. 520 $a His Excellency EugeÌne Rougon (1876) is the sixth novel in Zola's twenty-volume Rougon-Macquart cycle. A political novel set in the corridors of power and in the upper echelons of French Second Empire society, including the Imperial court, it focuses on the fluctuating fortunes of the authoritarian EugeÌne Rougon, the "vice-Emperor." But it is more than just a chronicle. It plunges the reader into the essential dynamics of the political: the rivalries, the scheming, the jockeying for position, the ups and downs, the play of interests, the lobbying and gossip, the patronage and string-pulling, the bribery and blackmail, and, especially, the manipulation of language for political purposes. The novel's themes--especially its treatment of political discourse--have remarkable contemporary resonance. His Excellency EugeÌne Rougon is about politics everywhere. -- Amazon.com 546 $a Translated to English from French. 650 0 $a Political fiction, French $y 19th century. 651 0 $a France $x Politics and government $y 1852-1870 $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Political fiction, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069325 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Nelson, Brian, $e translator. 830 0 $a Oxford world's classics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212020103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9C6649CCE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
